    But S/Z published in 1970 and The Pleasure of the Text published in 1973, and also in S/Z, the "readerly" and "writerly" texts were identified, then why The Text of the Pleasure is the right answer for Barthes intoduced this term "readerly" and "writerly" texts ?

    OVERVIEW QUOTES BOOKS PEOPLE ALSO SEARCH FOR Literature is the question minus the answer. The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author. I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient. There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it. The New is not a fashion, it is a value. Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula. To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive and impoverished. What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself. Literature is without proofs. By which it must be understood that it cannot prove, not only what it says, but even that it is worth the trouble of saying it. A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.
